And why would Vancouver Spine Care Centre clarify “earliest” and “later”
stages? Disc degeneration – earliest stage - leads to disc herniation – later stage.
While disc degeneration may hurt or not, a disc herniation that contacts a spinal
nerve or chemically irritates the spinal nerve hurts! Vancouver Spine Care Centre offers a comprehensive
treatment plan that is non-surgical for neck pain and any neck-related arm pain to our
Vancouver neck pain patients no matter what stage they experience, all
based on a thorough clinical examination.

In this recent study, healthy, painfree subjects – 1211 of
them! - in their 20s to 70s were studied using MRI. Mild disc degeneration was
very common: 98% in males and females in their 20s. Notedly, the older the
subject, the more severe the degeneration was. The most common levels of disc
degeneration were C5-6 and C6-7 regardless of gender. (1) (That makes sense as
the most motion in the cervical spine is at these levels. Vancouver Spine Care Centre
treats these levels in the neck all the time!)

So see your Vancouver chiropractic physician for
prevention, examination, diagnosis, and relieving care of your neck pain today,
especially if you are one of the 98%! Do you know?Contact Vancouver Spine Care Centre to
